›Organizational Credential Manager
An Organizational Credential Manager is a software component that gives an Organization the capability to fully participate in the federated internet of Self Sovereign Identity.
It connects to the directory service, such as Microsoft Active directory, and depending on the Organizations' preferences it is deployed on-premise, in the cloud, or utilised in a SaaS model.
Vereign OCM provides the required functionality for the Issuer and Verifier in an SSI ecosystem and also allows your organization to act as the Holder of its own verifiable credentials.
Vereign OCM is used when an organization wants the native capability to
- receive and process verifiable credentials issued elsewhere, such as governmental electronic IDs, company and employee certificates, university diplomas or other documents issued as verifiable credentials by private or public bodies;
- implement audit trails, data spaces, zero trust networks or secure sign-in and automated data exchange in for IoT networks, employees, partners or customers;
- issue verifiable credentials for its products, employees or partners, such as existing ISO certifications;
- bridge and leverage legacy PKI or certificates into the growing SSI ecosystem around eIDAS version 2.0.
